六月LGBTQIA+ 特展《愛極庇護》

「追尋認同的路上，愛是最後的庇護。」
2001 年荷蘭正式實施法律，不區分同性或異性婚姻，使兩者享有完全同等的權利與義務。荷蘭作為全球第一個將同性婚姻合法化的國家，今年迎來25週年紀念。而臺灣自2019年5月24日起正式同性婚姻合法化，成為亞洲第一個落實婚姻平權的國家。LGBTQIA+ 群體的權利在全球仍有國家不受重視的情況，6 月同志驕傲月（Pride Month）是慶祝LGBTQIA+ 群體的一個驕傲月份，讓讓不同性別傾向、氣質與認同的族群，找到定義自我、認同自我。也讓大眾有機會更了解、認識、尊重並欣賞 LGBTQIA+ 社群的文化、價值。

June LGBTQIA+ Special Exhibition ”Another Dream”
"On the journey toward identity and belonging, love becomes the final refuge."
In 2001, the Netherlands became the first country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage, granting equal rights and responsibilities to all couples regardless of gender. This year marks the 25th anniversary of this historic milestone. Taiwan, meanwhile, legalized same-sex marriage on May 24, 2019, becoming the first country in Asia to achieve marriage equality.
Despite these significant advances, LGBTQIA+ rights remain overlooked or restricted in many parts of the world. Celebrated each June, Pride Month honors the LGBTQIA+ community and provides an opportunity for people of diverse sexual orientations, gender expressions, and gender identities to embrace and affirm themselves. It also encourages broader society to better understand, respect, and appreciate the cultures, values, and experiences of LGBTQIA+ communities.

策展理念 Curatorial Concept
每個人都渴望被理解、被接納，也希望能夠自由地愛與被愛。然而，對許多 LGBTQIA+ 群體而言，這些看似理所當然的權利，至今仍可能面臨來自家庭、社會甚至法律制度的挑戰與限制。
《愛極庇護》（Another Dream）以虛擬實境紀錄片的形式，帶領觀眾走入一對埃及女同志伴侶的生命故事，透過沉浸式視角，貼近她們在追尋安全、認同與自由過程中的徬徨、勇氣與希望。
本次展出呼應同志驕傲月（Pride Month），期望藉由作品中的真實經歷，讓觀眾看見 LGBTQIA+ 群體不只是新聞中的議題或統計數字，而是一個個真實存在、擁有情感與夢想的人。透過虛擬實境特有的臨場感與同理視角，觀眾得以跨越文化、語言與身分差異，感受他人生命中的掙扎與選擇，進而理解那些與自己不同的人所面對的處境。
我們相信，認識差異並非為了劃分彼此，而是為了學習尊重與共存。期待每位觀眾在觀展之後，都能以更開放與包容的心，看見多元社會中的不同樣貌，理解每個人追求幸福與歸屬的權利，並共同打造一個讓每個人都能自在做自己的世界。

Everyone longs to be understood, accepted, and free to love and be loved. Yet for many LGBTQIA+ individuals, these seemingly fundamental rights continue to be challenged by family expectations, social prejudice, and legal barriers.
Presented as a virtual reality documentary, Another Dream invites audiences into the lived experiences of an Egyptian lesbian couple. Through an immersive perspective, viewers accompany them on a journey marked by uncertainty, courage, and hope as they seek safety, recognition, and freedom.
Presented during Pride Month, this exhibition aims to reveal that LGBTQIA+ people are not merely social issues or statistics, but individuals with genuine emotions, aspirations, and life stories. Through the unique sense of presence and empathy enabled by virtual reality, audiences are encouraged to transcend differences in culture, language, and identity, gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those whose experiences may differ from their own.
We believe that recognizing differences is not about drawing divisions, but about learning respect, empathy, and coexistence. Through this exhibition, we hope visitors will leave with a greater appreciation for diversity and a stronger commitment to creating a world in which everyone can live authentically and pursue happiness and belonging.

作品資訊 Artwork Information
VR藝廊特別展出動畫虛擬實境紀錄片《愛極庇護》Another Dream，以真實故事為基底，描繪一對埃及女同志伴侶的愛情旅程。面對革命後社會對LGBTQ群體的強烈反彈，她們離開開羅，前往荷蘭尋求庇護與認同。
透過動畫的細膩描摹，鳥瞰這趟埃及開羅到荷蘭的旅途，僅管一路上的各種尖銳非議已在畫筆下柔和許多，紀錄式的直觀聲述旁白依舊真實的叫人心碎。伴著劇中主角的旅程，將可以貼身感受不被認同與祝福的倉皇與哀愁。
VR Gallery proudly presents Another Dream, an animated virtual reality documentary based on a true story. The work follows the journey of an Egyptian lesbian couple whose lives are profoundly affected by the growing backlash against LGBTQ communities in the aftermath of the Egyptian revolution. Forced to leave Cairo, they travel to the Netherlands in search of refuge, acceptance, and the freedom to live openly.
Through delicate and expressive animation, the film offers a bird's-eye view of their journey from Cairo to the Netherlands. While the visual language softens some of the harsh realities they encounter, the documentary-style narration remains deeply personal and emotionally powerful. Accompanying the protagonists along their path, viewers gain an intimate understanding of the fear, loneliness, and sorrow that arise from rejection and exclusion, while also witnessing the resilience that sustains them.
